Women spend 17 minutes each morning choosing an outfit

A new study released by Marks & Spencer has revealed that the average woman will spend 17 minutes each morning trying to find an outfit to wear to work. This amounts to four days a year, and six months of our working lives searching for something to wear to the office.

The poll of 2,000 men and women delivered some other interesting statistics. 62 per cent of women admitted to having 'irrational tantrums' during the daily hunt for an outfit, and 21 per cent confessed that the ordeal has caused them to have an argument with their partner.

Although men were found to spend less time going through their cupboards each morning, 20 per cent of those questioned admitted to throwing clothes around the room in anger when they couldn't put together the perfect ensemble.
